Official Description
The ElementsKit PRO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 3.6.2 via the 'render_raw' function. This can allow authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.
Risk Analysis
The ElementsKit PRO plugin for WordPress contains a Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated contributors to interact with internal services. This critical flaw can be used to query or modify information from internal network resources.
There is no known public exploit, and it is not in the CISA KEV. It is remotely exploitable by authenticated users with contributor-level permissions.
Update the ElementsKit PRO plugin to a version beyond 3.6.2 and restrict contributor-level access if not strictly necessary.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-4404 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 9.6.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
